contents Quantum oscillations originating from the quantization of the electron cyclotron orbits provide ultrasensitive diagnostics of electron bands and interactions in novel materials. We report on the first direct-space nanoscale imaging of the thermodynamic magnetization oscillations due to the de Haas-van Alphen effect in moiré graphene. Scanning by SQUID-on-tip in Bernal bilayer graphene crystal-axis-aligned to hBN reveals abnormally large magnetization oscillations with amplitudes reaching 500 μ_B/electron in weak magnetic fields, unexpectedly low frequencies, and high sensitivity to the superlattice filling fraction. The oscillations allow us to reconstruct the complex band structure in exquisite detail, revealing narrow moiré bands with multiple overlapping Fermi surfaces separated by unusually small momentum gaps. We identify distinct sets of oscillations that violate the textbook Onsager Fermi surface sum rule, signaling formation of exotic broad-band particle-hole superposition states induced by coherent magnetic breakdown.
