Important

Submitting multiple circuits on a single job is currently not supported. As a workaround you can call the backend.run method to submit each circuit asynchronously, then fetch the results of each job. For example:

jobs = []
for circuit in circuits:
    jobs.append(backend.run(circuit, shots=N))

results = []
for job in jobs:
    results.append(job.result())
