We investigate the quantum optical properties of a single photon emitter coupled to a finite-size metal nanoparticle using a photon Green function technique that rigorously quantizes the electromagnetic fields. We first obtain pronounced Purcell factors and photonic Lamb shifts for both a 7-nm and 20-nm radius metal nanoparticle, without adopting a dipole approximation. We then consider a quantum-dot photon emitter positioned sufficiently near to the metal nanoparticle so that the strong coupling regime is possible. Accounting for non-dipole interactions, quenching, and photon transport from the dot to the detector, we demonstrate that the strong coupling regime should be observable in the far-field spontaneous emission spectrum, even at room temperature. The emission spectra show that the usual vacuum Rabi doublet becomes a rich spectral triplet or quartet with two of the four peaks anticrossing, which survives in spite of significant non-radiative decays. We discuss the emitted light spectrum and the effects of quenching for two different dipole polarizations.
