Abstract
Recently, the authors showed that for every irrational number , there exist infinitely many positive integers represented by any given positive definite binary quadratic form , satisfying for any fixed . We also provided a quantitative version with a lower bound when the exponent is replaced by a smaller exponent . In this article, we establish a quantitative version for the exponent , where we confine ourselves to the particular case of sums of two squares.

This is a reworked version. We have managed to establish the same result by simpler means, resulting in a reduction of pages from 17 to 15
