OP does not specify what they would like to know about such sums, so I will address the simplest thing that comes to mind: how can we evaluate them?
If $n=2$, then these are essentially the same thing as quadratic Gauss sums, hence, can be computed efficiently in polynomial time. If $n>2$, then without further constraints, the sums are #P-hard to evaluate. My favorite reference about such things is Cai, Chen, Lipton and LuLu's paper "On Tractable Exponential Sums".
