In general, even approximating a global optimum of a quadratic program, the simplest case of a nonlinear program, is NP-Hard (http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~rogaway/papers/qp.pdf), not to mention finding an exact solution of it (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/002001909090100C).
The polynomial-time solvability of a nonlinear program depends on its convexity, which means that your matrix $Q\in R^{n\times n}$ should be positive semidefinite (i.e. $\forall x\in R^n,\,x^TQx\geq 0$). An easy way to check this in polynomial time is to check the sign of the smallest eigenvalue of $Q$. In the case of a convex quadratic program, you can simply deploy an interior-point algorithm for quadratic programming, which has a poly-time worst case complexity. These facts can be generalized for nonlinear programming.
As @Austin pointed, there's a way to convert your program to a Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Form. These problems are NP-Hard in general, but you can achieve an $\frac{4}{7}-$approximation of it's solution using an algorithm by Yinyu Ye, which solves an SDP-relaxation of the program.
