FORMULA

a(n) = p^n Product (p^n - p^k) for k=0 to n-1

MAPLE

f:=proc(n, eps) local m, d;

if n mod 2 = 0 then m:=n/2; d:=gcd(4, 2^m-eps);

2^(m*(m-1))*mul( 4^i-1, i=1..m)*(2^m-eps)/d;

else m:=(n-1)/2;

2^(m^2)*mul( 4^i-1, i=1..m);

fi; end;

[seq(f(n, +1), n=0..20)]

MATHEMATICA

FoldList[ #1*4^#2 (4^#2-1)&, 1, Range[ 20 ] ]
