48. The work presented in this paper differs from the well-known motional narrowing effect [cf. R. Kubo, M. Toda, and N. Hashitsume, Statistical Physics II, 2nd ed. (Springer, New York, 1985), Chap. 2] where the narrowing results from the lengthening of the correlation time of the heat bath. For the schemes presented in this paper and others as in Ref. [12], the heat bath correlation time is kept fixed, whereas a coherent perturbation acts fast enough so that the effect of heat bath is inhibited.
