FORMULA
(phi; phi)_n = (A276990(n) + a(n)*sqrt(5))/2.
(1-phi; 1-phi)_n = (A276990(n) - a(n)*sqrt(5))/2.
a(n) ~ c * (-1)^n * phi^(n*(n+1)/2) / sqrt(5), where c = (1/phi)_inf = A276987 = 0.1208019218617061294237231569887920563043992516794...

Round@Table[(QPochhammer[GoldenRatio, GoldenRatio, n] - QPochhammer[1 - GoldenRatio, 1 - GoldenRatio, n])/Sqrt[5], {n, 0, 20}] (* Round is equivalent to FullSimplify here, but is much faster *)
