Institut fur Physik, Karl{Franzens{Universitat Graz, Universitatsplatz 5, 8010 Graz, Austria(Dated: February 12, 2008)We theoretically investigate strong coupling between a single molecule and a single metallicnanoparticle. A theory suited for the quantum-mechanical description of surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs) is developed. The coupling between these SPPs and a single molecule, and the modi edmolecular dynamics in presence of the nanoparticle are described within a combined Drude andboundary-element-method approach. Our results show that strong coupling is possible for singlemolecules and metallic nanoparticles, and can be observed in uorescence spectroscopy through thesplitting of emission peaks.
