A mechanism to deterministically prepare a nanowire Josephson junction in an odd parity state is proposed. The mechanism involves population of two Andreev levels by a resonant microwave drive breaking a Cooper pair, and a subsequent ionization of one of the levels by the same drive. Robust preparation of the odd state is allowed by a residual Coulomb repulsion in the junction. A similar resonant process can also be used to prepare the junction in the even state. Our theory explains a recent experiment [1].
