Graphene based twisted moiré heterostructures host a flat band at the magic angle where the kinetic energy of charge carriers is quenched and interaction effects dominate. This results in emergent phases such as correlated insulators and superconductors that are electrostatically tunable. In this work, we investigate superconductivity in magic angle twisted trilayer graphene (MATTG) by integrating it as a weak link in a SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) loop of superconducting Molybdenum Rhenium. We study the current phase relation of MATTG in various configurations and show that superconducting MATTG has a large kinetic inductance up to 75 nH per square which is electrostatically tunable. This opens avenues for using MATTG as a tunable element in superconducting circuits.
