A panoply of unconventional electronic states has recently been observed in moiré superlattices. On the other hand, similar opportunities for bosons remain largely unexplored. In this talk, I will discuss the emerging opportunities to engineer exotic bosonic phases in semiconducting moiré superlattices through excitons, i.e., tightly bound electron-hole pairs.By developing a novel pump probe spectroscopy that measures exciton compressibility, we directly identify a bosoniccorrelated insulator at exciton filling vex = 1, and a mixed correlated insulator upon further electron doping. I will also briefly discuss other potentialcorrelated phases in this platform, such as spontaneous valleyorders of excitons.
