Post-processing

We need to post-process the results we receive from the pqc. If we set the hist-parameter to False, the pqc function returns the counts. These are in a Python dictionary with two keys, '0' and '1'. The values assigned to these keys are the number of measurements that yielded the respective key. For instance, if we have $1,000$ shots and $691$ returned 1, our result is {'0':209, '1':691}.

If we have a single one-shot, we will get either {'0': 1} or {'1': 1} as counts. When we run our classifier, we want to get a distinct prediction for each passenger, so a single shot is sufficient.
