EXAMPLE

The squares in Z_3[i] are 0, i, 2i, 1 and 2, therefore a(3)=5.

MATHEMATICA

GG[M_, s_] :=Table[Mod[(a + b I)^s, M], {a, M}, {b, M}] // Flatten // Union // Length; Table[GG[M, 2], {M, 1, 144}]

PROG

(PARI) a(n)={my(v=vector(n)); for(i=0, n-1, for(j=0, n-1, my(k=(i^2-j^2)%n + 1); v[k]=bitor(v[k], 1<<((2*i*j)%n)))); sum(j=1, n, hammingweight(v[j]))} \\ Andrew Howroyd, Aug 01 2018
