  This paper is about adiabatic transport in quantum pumps. The notion of
``energy shift'', a self-adjoint operator dual to the Wigner time delay, plays
a role in our approach: It determines the current, the dissipation, the noise
and the entropy currents in quantum pumps. We discuss the geometric and
topological content of adiabatic transport and show that the mechanism of
Thouless and Niu for quantized transport via Chern numbers cannot be realized
in quantum pumps where Chern numbers necessarily vanish.
