We study the low-field ground-state (GS) properties of the antiferromagnetic transverse-field Ising model with long-range interactions (afLRTFIM) on the triangular lattice. We use the method of perturbative continuous unitary transformations (pCUT) to derive an effective model for the degenerate GS space of the antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbour (NN) Ising model on a finite system, by treating the transverse-field (TF) and the long-range interactions (LRI) as a perturbation. We determine a level-crossing between the gapped plain stripe phase at small TF and the gapped clock-ordered phase at intermediate TF at hc≅0.129 for α=6, N=36 spins in order three perturbation theory on the finite system. We discuss the qualitative layout of the quantum phase diagram of the afLRTFIM on the triangular lattice.
