Synchrotron emission in magnetic fields of neutron stars is considered on the basis of quantum theory. The quantization of transverse electron motion in a magnetic field is important for b greater than or = epsilon(epsilon - 1) where b = B/4.4 times 10 to the 13 th power G, epsilon is a typical electron energy in units of mc sq. The quantum recoil of a radiating electron is significant for b greater than or = (epsilon - 1)/epsilon sq. Quantization of electron motion leads to asymmetric peaks in the radiation spectra at the energies h omega = mcsq (root 1 + 2 n'b - root 1 + 2 nb)/sin upsilon, where n', n = 0,1, ..., and upsilon is the angle between B and the wave vector. The quantum recoil softens the spectra. The quantum effects change characteristics of maser instabilities in strongly magnetized plasmas.
