A new radiation mechanism for relativistic charged particles moving in curved magnetic fields has been put forward recently by Zhang & Cheng. This radiation mechanism generalizes all the classical results of ordinary synchrotron and curvature radiation and reveals the inherent linkage and unification between them. Since the magnitude of the pulsar magnetic field is generally ~1011-1013 G, the quantum effects must be taken into account. Applying the generalized method of equivalent photon scattering developed recently by Lieu & Axford, we present the quantum-limited synchrocurvature radiation formulae in this paper, which elaborates the essence of this new radiation mechanism in a deeper sense. The formulae we present could be extensively applied to various kinds of practical curved magnetic fields, including those of pulsars.
