contents Excitons, the bosonic quasiparticle emerging from Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes, will undergo a Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) and transition into a superfluid state with global phase coherence at low temperatures. An important platform to study such excitonic physics is built on double-layer quantum wells or recent two-dimensional material heterostructures, where two parallel planes of electrons and holes are separated by a thin insulating layer. Lowering this separation distance ($d$) enhances the interlayer Coulomb interaction thereby strengthens the exciton binding energy. However, an exceedingly small $d$ will lead to the undesired interlayer tunneling, which results the annihilation of excitons. Here, we report the observation of a sequences of robust exciton condensates(ECs) in double bilayer graphenes twisted to $\sim 10^\circ$ with no insulating mid-layer. The large momentum mismatch between the two graphene layers well suppress the interlayer tunneling, allowing us to reach the separation lower limit $\sim$ 0.334 nm and investigate ECs in the extreme coupling regime. Carrying out transport measurements on the bulk and edge of the devices, we find incompressible states corresponding to ECs when both layers are half-filled in the $N=0$ and $N=1$ Landau levels (LLs). The comparison between these ECs and theoretical calculations suggest that the low-energy charged excitation of ECs can be meron-antimeron or particle-hole pair, which relies on both LL index and carrier type. Our results establish large-angle twisted bilayers as an experimental platform with extreme coupling strength for studying quantum bosonic phase and its low-energy excitations.

Excitons, the bosonic quasiparticle emerging from Coulomb interaction between electrons and holes, will undergo a Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) and transition into a superfluid state with global phase coherence at low temperatures. An important platform to study such excitonic physics is built on double-layer quantum wells or recent two-dimensional material heterostructures, where two parallel planes of electrons and holes are separated by a thin insulating layer. Lowering this separation distance ($d$) enhances the interlayer Coulomb interaction thereby strengthens the exciton binding energy. However, an exceedingly small $d$ will lead to the undesired interlayer tunneling, which results the annihilation of excitons. Here, we report the observation of a sequences of robust exciton condensates(ECs) in double bilayer graphenes twisted to $\sim 10^\circ$ with no insulating mid-layer. The large momentum mismatch between the two graphene layers well suppress the interlayer tunneling, allowing us to reach the separation lower limit $\sim$ 0.334 nm and investigate ECs in the extreme coupling regime.
