It is the energy that remains in a system even when it's at its lowest possible energy state, which is typically at absolute zero temperature. Zero point energy refers to the lowest possible energy that a quantum mechanical physical system may have. At low temperatures, most of the oscillators are in the state of zero point energy (hv/2). They execute zero point oscillations and not thermal oscillations.
