    Convert a given value into a pint.Quantity object with the specified unit.

    Args:
        value (QuantityDict | float | int | Quantity):
            The value to be converted into a Quantity object.
            - If value is a float or int, it will be directly converted to the specified
              unit.
            - If value is a dict, it must have keys 'magnitude' and 'unit' to represent
              the value and unit.
            - If value is a Quantity object, it will remain unchanged.\n
        unit (str, optional): The target unit for conversion. If empty and value is not
            a Quantity object, it will assume a unitless quantity.

    Returns:
        Quantity: The converted value as a pint.Quantity object with the specified unit.

    Examples:
        >>> convert_to_quantity(5, 'm')
        <Quantity(5.0, 'meters')>
        >>> convert_to_quantity({'magnitude': 10, 'unit': 'mV'})
        <Quantity(10.0, 'millivolt')>
        >>> convert_to_quantity(10.0 * u.units.V)
        <Quantity(10.0, 'volt')>

    Notes:
        - If unit is not provided and value is a float or int, the resulting Quantity
          will be unitless.
