Magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) hosts a number of correlated states of matter that can be tuned by electrostatic doping. Superconductivity has drawn considerable attention and the mechanism behind it is a topic of active discussion. MATBG has been experimentally characterized by numerous transport and scanning-probe experiments. The material has also emerged as a versatile platform for superconducting electronics, as proven by the realization of monolithic Josephson junctions. However, even though phase-coherent phenomena have been measured, no control of the superconducting phase has been demonstrated so far. Here, we present a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) in MATBG, where the superconducting phase difference is controlled through the magnetic field. We observe magneto-oscillations of the critical current, demonstrating long-range coherence agreeing with an effective charge of 2e for the superconducting charge carriers. We tune to both asymmetric and symmetric SQUID configurations by electrostatically controlling the critical currents through the junctions. With this tunability, we study the inductances in the device, finding values of up to 2μH. Furthermore, we directly observe the current-phase relation of one of the Josephson junctions of the device. Our results show that superconducting devices in MATBG can be scaled up and used to reveal properties of the material. We expect this to foster a more systematic realization of devices of this type, increasing the accuracy with which microscopic characteristics of the material are extracted. We also envision more complex devices to emerge, such as phase-slip junctions or high kinetic inductance detectors.
