We study the S=1/2 quantum antiferromagnetic XY model on finite triangular lattices with N sites in both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields. We calculate physical quantities in the ground state using a diagonalization for spins $N \leq 27$, and those at finite temperatures using a quantum transfer Monte Carlo method for $N \leq 24$. In the longitudinal magnetic field, the long-range chiral order parameter seems to have a finite, nonzero value at low temperatures suggesting the occurrence of a classical umbrella-type phase. In the transverse magnetic field, the 1/3-plateau of the magnetization curve appears even at low temperatures, in contrast with the classical model. The magnetic field dependences of the order parameters suggest that the chiral-ordered, the ferrimagnetic, and the spin flop phases appear successively as the magnetic field is increased. The transition temperatures are estimated from the peak position of the specific heat, and the phase diagrams are predicted in both longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields.
