Problem Statement

Does there exist a positive integer nn and a) complex numbers a0,a1,,an;a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_n; b) reals a0,a1,,an,a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_n, such that P(x)Q(x)=x2024+1P(x) Q(x)=x^{2024}+1 where P(x)=anxn++a1x+a0P(x)=a_nx^n+\ldots +a_1x+a_0 and Q(x)=a0xn+a1xn1++an?Q(x)=a_0x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\ldots+a_n?
