title: Resonance energy and charge pumping through quantum SINIS contacts.
abstract: We propose a mechanism of quantum pumping mediated by the spectral flow in a voltage-biased superconductor/insulator/normal-metal/insulator/superconductor quantum junction and realized via the sequential closing of the minigaps in the energy spectrum in resonance with the Josephson frequency. We show that the pumped dc current exhibits giant peaks at rational voltages.
