A) A single execution of a circuit followed by measurement B) A single physical connection between qubits C) A special kind of quantum gate D) A permanent copy of a qubit Correct: A Explanation: A shot is one run of a quantum circuit. Since quantum measurement is probabilistic, circuits are usually executed many times to estimate output probabilities. Topic: quantum computing / shots / execution
