The expression can be simplified using De Moivre's theorem, which states that $(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)^n = \cos(n\theta) + i\sin(n\theta)$ for any real number $n$. Applying this theorem, we get $\cos(45^\circ) + i\sin(45^\circ)$, which simplifies to $\sqrt{2}/2 + i\sqrt{2}/2$. Multiplying by 2^3 (or 8) gives $4\sqrt{2} + 4\sqrt{2}i$.
