The one-dimensional positive sign uncertainty conjecture

Let A+(1)\mathbb{A}_+(1) denote the optimal constant for the one-dimensional positive sign uncertainty principle, and let

φ:=1+52\varphi:=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}2

be the golden ratio.

Positive sign uncertainty conjecture.

A+(1)=(2φ)12.\mathbb{A}_+(1)=(2\varphi)^{-\tfrac12}.

The value is supported by numerical evidence from the discrete Fourier-transform problem and would determine the one-dimensional positive sign uncertainty constant exactly. The source presents it as conjectural.
