    "abstract": "Thermal noise of a mirror can be reduced by cold damping. The displacement is\nmeasured with a high-finesse cavity and controlled with the radiation pressure\nof a modulated light beam. We establish the general quantum limits of noise in\ncold damping mechanisms and we show that the optomechanical system allows to\nreach these limits. Displacement noise can be arbitrarily reduced in a narrow\nfrequency band. In a wide-band analysis we show that thermal fluctuations are\nreduced as with classical damping whereas quantum zero-point fluctuations are\nleft unchanged. The only limit of cold damping is then due to zero-point energy\nof the mirror",
