Abstract
Recent experiments have confirmed the presence of interlayer excitons in the ground state of transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers. The interlayer excitons are expected to show remarkable transport properties when they undergo Bose condensation. In this Letter, we demonstrate that quantum geometry of Bloch wave functions plays an important role in the phase stiffness of the interlayer exciton condensate. Notably, we identify a geometric contribution that amplifies the stiffness, leading to the formation of a robust condensate with an increased Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless temperature. Our results have direct implications for the ongoing experimental efforts on interlayer excitons in materials that have nontrivial quantum geometry. We provide estimates for the geometric contribution in transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers through a realistic continuum model with gated Coulomb interaction, and find that the substantially increased stiffness may allow an interlayer exciton condensate to be realized at amenable experimental conditions.
