Here, the authors perform measurements of the interference effects of Cooper Quartets (CQ), observed in a multi-terminal graphene Josephson junction where two terminals are tied by a flux loop. By biasing the superconducting contacts, they identify a superconducting branch attributed to CQ currents, and present evidence for interference between different CQ processes.
