For the quantum integer $[n]_q = 1+q+...+q^{n-1}$ there is a natural polynomial multiplication $*_q$ such that $[m]_q *_q [n]_q = [mn]_q$. This multiplication leads to the functional equation $f_{mn}(q) = f_m(q)f_n(q^m),$ defined on a given sequence $\mathcal(F)=\{f_n(q)\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of polynomials. This paper contains various results concerning the classification and construction of polynomial sequences that satisfy the functional equation, as well as a list of open problems that arise fromthe classification.
