We study the ground-state phase diagram of the quantum J1\ensuremath-J2 model on the honeycomb lattice by means of an entangled-plaquette variational ansatz. Values of energy and relevant order parameters are computed in the range 0\ensuremath≤J2/J1\ensuremath≤1. The system displays classical order for J2/J1\ensuremath\lesssim0.2 (N'eel) and for J2/J1\ensuremath\gtrsim0.4 (collinear). In the intermediate region, the ground state is disordered. Our results show that the reduction of the half-filled Hubbard model to the model studied here does not yield accurate predictions.
