Description

Describe the feature you'd like Support for running QuantumTapes with different shot amounts in one fell swoop.

How would this feature be used? Please describe. Would allow Braket to run tapes with multiple shot counts specified, which currently isn't supported.

Describe alternatives you've considered We could continue to not support this.

Additional context Shot vectors are already supported by PL's own devices and their interface with Qiskit.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study PennyLane's shot vector support in DefaultQubit and Qiskit plugin, then implement similar support in the Braket plugin's execute and batch execute methods.
