Quantum theory of optical stochastic cooling is presented. Results include a full quantum analysis of the interaction of the beam with radiation in the undulators and in the quantum amplifier. A density matrix of the whole system is constructed and the cooling rate is evaluated. It is shown that quantum fluctuations change classical results of stochastic cooling at low bunch population and set a limit on the cooling rate.
