  "abstract": "We develop a quantum theory of near-field electrodynamical properties of carbon nanotubes and investigate spontaneous decay dynamics of excited states and van der Waals attraction of the ground state of an atomic system close to a single-wall nanotube surface. Atomic spontaneous decay exhibits vacuum-field Rabi oscillations -- a principal signature of strong atom-vacuum-field coupling. The strongly coupled atomic state is nothing but a 'quasi-1D cavity polariton'. Its stability is mainly determined by the atom-nanotube van der Waals interaction. Our calculations of the ground-state atom van der Waals energy performed within a universal quantum mechanical approach valid for both weak and strong atom-field coupling demonstrate the inapplicability of conventional weak-coupling-based van der Waals interaction models in a close vicinity of the nanotube surface.",
