Quantum fluids, crystal lattice, magnetic fields, and conducting electrons are strongly coupled inside a neutron star. Their coupling to the exterior, the neutron star magnetosphere, leads to observable consequences. This talk will highlight giant Hall waves triggered by superconducting transition in the neutron star core, dynamics of the superfluid vortices and of the crystal lattice in the inner crust, Landau quantization of the electron states, and magnetically driven baryonic eruptions.
