We present an overview on path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) studies of spatially separated electron-hole bilayers [1]. As was recently observed for bulk semiconductors [2], holes undergo a phase transition to a crystalline state if the mass ratio exceeds Mcr≈ 80. Here, we extend this analysis to bilayers where Mcr depends on d and the in-layer particle density. We consider the low density regime when the spin statistics has a negligible effect on the localized states of the holes. With the decrease of d the crystal melts via the formation of indirect excitons. We also find a crystalline state of excitons at lower temperatures. By considering the excitons as a composite bosons we performed PIMC simulations including the exchange effects. The detailed analysis of dependence of the superfluid fraction in mesoscopic systems (two coupled quantum dots) and macroscopic systems are presented. The role of the finite size effects on the condensate fraction and the critical temperature, and deviation from the macroscopic limit, is discussed.
