title = "Spectral narrowing induced by discrete frequency fluctuations",
abstract = "We study an ensemble of two level systems coupled to an environment that randomly modulates their resonant frequency. We use Poissonian statistics for the random frequency jumps and derive a closed-from formula for the spectrum in terms of the inhomogeneous frequency distribution and the Poisson rate constant. We show that for a Gaussian distribution our result asymptotically reproduces the results of the well known Kubo model. Our formula holds for any frequency distribution. In particular we calculate the spectrum of atoms in a 3D trap harmonic trap and show that motional narrowing naturally emerges. We experimentally measure this spectrum with optically trapped ^87Rb atoms and obtain a good agreement to our theory without fitting parameters. Our theory apply to a wide range of systems such as atomic ensembles, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, single molecule spectroscopy and the line-shape of lasers.",
