SUMMARY
Units of measure in Quantum Mechanics are defined similarly to classical physics, despite the inherent probabilistic nature of quantum systems. The discussion emphasizes that while classical definitions involve deterministic processes, quantum mechanics allows for the use of expected values without altering the fundamental definitions of units like the kilogram. The consensus is that the universe operates on quantum principles, yet standard units remain applicable and unchanged.
