what is the significance of varying the number of shots while running a circuit in a quantum machine and qasm simulator?
Does more number of shots give better/accurate result? I am running a simple 2 qubit measurement circuit after Hadamard gates on both qubits.
When you perform one shot, the measurement at the end of the computation gives you one of the possible results. More shots produce a distribution.
In your simple example, you should get a uniform distribution over 00, 01, 10 and 11. You should notice that, with more shots, the distribution you get is more similar to the uniform one.
