Insight by Technology
Measuring a quantum state requires repeated shots because each measurement samples probabilistic outcomes set by the state's amplitudes, so many runs are needed to estimate expectation values or probabilities with statistical confidence.

Instead of reconstructing the full quantum state, practitioners estimate specific observables because full state tomography needs an impractical number of measurements, while targeted measurements give task-relevant information with far fewer shots.
