Abstract

The progress in optical clock with uncertainty at a level of 101810^{-18} requires unprecedented precision in estimating the contribution of multipolar and higher-order effects of atom-field interactions. Current theoretical and experimental results of dynamic multipolar polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities at the magic wavelength for the Sr clock differ substantially. We develop a combined approach of the Dirac-Fock plus core polarization (DFCP) and relativistic configuration interaction (RCI) methods to calculate dynamic multipolar polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of the Sr atom. Our differential dynamic hyperpolarizability at the magic wavelength is 2.09(43)×107-2.09(43)\times10^{7} a.u., which is consistent with the existing theoretical and experimental results. Our differential multipolar polarizability is 2.68(94)×1052.68(94)\times 10^{-5} a.u., which validates independently the theoretical work of Porsev {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 063204 (2018)], but different from recent measurement of Ushijima {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 263202 (2018)].
