Theorem
QSAT is PSPACE-complete under first-order reductions, a theorem of Stockmeyer and Meyer, and hence also coPSPACE-complete. It is SO(TC) definable, by a deterministic walk that computes the value of the formula. Hardness goes through SUCCINCT-REACH and the recursive doubling of Savitch's theorem: a path of length between two states is a quantified formula with alternations asking for a midpoint and for both halves.
