2D systems that host 1D helical states
are advantageous from the
perspective of scalable topological quantum computation when coupled
to a superconductor. Graphene is particularly promising for its high
electronic quality, its versatility in van der Waals heterostructures,
and its electron- and hole-like degenerate 0th Landau level. Here
we study a compact double-layer graphene SQUID (superconducting quantum
interference device), where the superconducting loop is reduced to
the superconducting contacts connecting two parallel graphene Josephson
junctions. Despite the small size of the SQUID, it is fully tunable
by the independent gate control of the chemical potentials in both
layers. Furthermore, both Josephson junctions show a skewed current-phase
relationship, indicating the presence of superconducting modes with
high transparency. In the quantum Hall regime, we measure a well-defined
conductance plateau of 2e2/h indicative of counter-propagating edge channels in the two layers.
