Abstract
We predict that the amplitude of the Josephson current through an antiferromagnetic weak link changes by several orders of magnitude upon rotation of the N\'eel order parameter characterizing the staggered magnetic order. This occurs due to the presence of spin-orbit coupling arising from structural inversion asymmetry which makes the band gap in the antiferromagnet highly sensitive to the staggered order parameter direction. We also demonstrate that when phase-biasing the junction, magnetization dynamics is induced which switches the direction of the N\'eel vector in the antiferromagnet. These results reveal an interesting versatility of antiferromagnetic Josephson junctions as they offer both a large tunability of the supercurrent magnitude via the staggered magnetization and phase-coherent control over the N\'eel order parameter.
