What is a quarter (US) in mass terms?

A quarter (US) is a mass unit equal to one quarter of a US hundredweight, which is 25 pounds or about 11.3398 kilograms.

What kinds of measurements use picograms?

Picograms are used to measure extremely small masses such as large biomolecules, tiny viruses, nanoparticles, and trace quantities in analytical chemistry.

Why might conversions from quarters to picograms produce very large numbers?

Because a quarter (US) is a large mass unit and a picogram is extremely small, conversions produce very large numeric values due to the huge difference in scale.
