Quasi-Quadratic Bit Complexity

Definition

Quasi-Quadratic Bit Complexity describes the computational resource requirement of an algorithm that grows slightly faster than quadratic with respect to the input size, measured in bits. In cryptographic contexts, this level of complexity can indicate the efficiency or inefficiency of certain operations, such as generating or verifying proofs. Algorithms with this characteristic may be acceptable for some applications but too demanding for others, particularly at scale. It quantifies the computational intensity.
