We theoretically study coherent single surface-plasmon transport in a nanowire strongly coupled to two quantum dots. Using a real-space Hamiltonian we find analytical expressions for the transmission and reflection coefficients and dot-dot entanglement. Our results show that remotely entangled states can be created if the separation between the two dots is equal to multiple half-wavelength of the plasmon. Furthermore, by applying classical laser pulses to the quantum dots, the entangled states can be stored in metastable states which are decoupled from the surface plasmons. We also investigate dissipative effects due to "non-connecting" surface-plasmon modes.
