We study, on the basis of the general entangled-plaquette variational ansatz, the ground-state (GS) properties of the spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice. Our numerical estimates are in good agreement with available exact results and comparable, for large system sizes, to those computed via the best alternative numerical approaches, or by means of variational schemes based on specific (i.e. incorporating problem-dependent terms) trial wave functions (WFs). The extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit of our results for lattices comprising up to N = 324 spins yields an upper bound of the GS energy per site (in units of the exchange coupling) of -0.5458(2) [-0.4074(1) for the XX model], while the estimated infinite-lattice order parameter is 0.3178(5) (i.e. similar to 64% of the classical value).
