The observed recurrence of glitches in pulsars and neutron stars carry richinformation about the evolution of their internal structures. In this article Ishow that the glitch-events observed in pulsars are exact quantum signaturesfor their metamorphosis into dark super-baryons (SBs), whose interiors are madeof purely incompressible superconducting gluon-quark superfluids. Here thequantum nuclear shell model is adopted to describe the permitted energy levelsof the SB, which are assumed to be identical to the discrete spinning rates$\Omega_{SB},$ that SBs are allowed to rotate with. Accordingly, a glitch-eventcorresponds to a prompt spin-down of the superconducting SB from one energylevel to the next, thereby expelling a certain number of vortices, which inturn spins-up the ambient medium. The process is provoked mainly by thenegative torque of the ambient dissipative nuclear fluid and by a universalscalar field $\phi$ at the background of a supranuclear dense matter. Asdictated by the Onsager-Feynman equation, the prompt spin-down must beassociated with increase of the dimensions of the embryonic SB to finallyconvert the entire pulsar into SB-Objects on the scale of Gyrs. Based on ourcalculations, a Vela-like pulsar should display billions of glitches during itslifetime, before it metamorphoses entirely into a maximally compact SB-objectand disappears from our observational windows. The present model predicts themass of SBs and $\Delta \Omega/\Omega$ in young pulsars to be relatively lowerthan their older counterparts.
