Doyle's quadratic-polynomial preperiodic-point bound over quadratic fields

From papers

Let K/QK/\mathbb{Q} be a quadratic field, let fK[z]f\in K[z] be a quadratic polynomial, and let PrePer(f,K)\operatorname{PrePer}(f,K) denote its set of KK-rational preperiodic points. Doyle's conjecture.

#PrePer(f,K)15.\#\operatorname{PrePer}(f,K)\leq15.

Computational investigations found the same bound in extensive searches, but the conjecture remains unproved in general.
