We explore the phases of the antiferromagnetic quantum spin-1/2 Heisenberg model with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) on the triangular lattice using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm. We study the polarization profile and entanglement, among other quantities, of the resulting ground states to characterize the corresponding phases and signal the emergence of quantum skyrmions.
