An adaptive phase technique has been proposed for the parametric cooling of the mechanical oscillators. The method calls for a sequence of periodic adjustments of the phase of a parametric modulation of the mechanical oscillator that is conditioned on measurements of its two quadratures. This technique indicates a pure exponential loss of the thermal energy at initial high occupancies. As the quantum ground state is approached, the phase adaptive scheme leads to residual occupancies at the level of a few phonons owing to the competition between parametric amplification of the quantum fluctuations and the feedback action. In contrast to available parametric feedback cooling techniques, the proposed phase-adaptive technique remains immune from the extraneous heating arising from direct modulation of the radiation pressure force.
