Advanced Usage

Quantium is also extensible, allowing you to define your own units or integrate with other scientific computing libraries.

1. Defining Custom Units

Quantium lets you define your own units when needed for domain-specific or even historical or humorous use cases.

from quantium import u

# Define a new unit based on its SI equivalent
u.define("furlong_per_fortnight", 0.0001663 , u.m / u.s)

speed = 10 * u.furlong_per_fortnight
print(speed)

# You can now convert back and forth
print(speed.to(u.m / u.s))
print((1 * u.m / u.s).to(u.furlong_per_fortnight))

Output:

10.0 furlong_per_fortnight
0.001663 m/s
6013.22910402886 furlong_per_fortnight
