  We study the phenomenon of adiabatic quantum charge pumping in systems
supporting fractionally charged fermionic bound states, in two different
setups. The first quantum pump setup consists of a charge-density-modulated
quantum wire, and the second one is based on a semiconducting nanowire with
Rashba spin-orbit interaction, in the presence of a spatially oscillating
magnetic field. In both these quantum pumps transport is investigated in a
N-X-N geometry, with the system of interest (X) connected to two normal-metal
leads (N), and the two pumping parameters are the strengths of the effective
wire-lead barriers. Pumped charge is calculated within the scattering matrix
formalism. We show that quantum pumping in both setups provides a unique
signature of the presence of the fractional-fermion bound states, in terms of
asymptotically quantized pumped charge. Furthermore, we investigate shot noise
arising due to quantum pumping, verifying that quantized pumped charge
corresponds to minimal shot noise.
