Computational complexity of the clique problem
Wikipedia is usually a good starting reference to well-known problems as the clique. There is a list of the fastest known algorithms for CLIQUE including references.

Apparently, the fastest algorithm we know runs in time $O(1.1888^n)$, so that's the best upper bound on the complexity of CLIQUE we have. As for lower bounds, we don't have a super-polynomial one, or otherwise P=NP? would have been solved.
