Granville's least-prime primitive-root conjecture

From papers

Let qq be a fixed integer with q1q\ne 1 and qn2q\ne n^2, and let pp be a prime. A number qq is a primitive root modulo pp when its residue class generates the multiplicative group modulo pp. Granville's least-prime primitive-root conjecture. There exists a prime pp such that qq is a primitive root modulo pp and

p(logq)(loglogq)3.p\ll (\log q)(\log \log q)^3.

This gives a conjectural logarithmic upper bound for the least prime admitting a prescribed nonsquare integer as a primitive root; the source notes that its result provides only a close approximation to this bound.
