The paper presents solution of quantum problem of neutron propagation in the magnetic field with multipole field expansion. Rigorous solution of the Pauli equation for neutron reveals existence of two solutions, finite and infinite, for any miltipole configuration. As an example, we present detailed study of neutron motion in quadrupole and sextupole. Our predictions agree with the results of Stern-Gerlach experiment for neutrons. To verify existence of finite and infinite motion, we discuss an experiment which could be performed in the Budker Insitute of Nuclear Physics using existing equipment. We conclude with the proposal of neutron-electron intersecting ring (neutron-electron ``collider''), which, if realized, would allow to accomplish a number of important experiments devoting to study neutron internal structure.
