Motivated by recent experiments [1], we present here a theoretical study of the DC Josephson effect in a system comprising two magnetic impurities coupled to their respective superconducting electrodes and which exhibit Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states. Using a mean-field Anderson model with broken spin symmetry to compute the supercurrent in this system for an arbitrary range of parameters (coupling between the impurities, orientation of the impurity spins, etc.). We predict a variety of physical phenomena such as (i) the occurrence of multiple 0-π transitions in the regime of weak coupling that can be induced by changing the energy of the YSR states or the temperature; (ii) the critical current strongly depends on the relative orientation of the impurity spins and it is maximized when the spins are either parallel or antiparallel, depending on the ground state of the impurities; and (iii) upon increasing the coupling between impurities, triplet superconductivity is generated in the system and it is manifested in a highly nonsinusoidal current-phase relation. Our predictions can be tested experimentally with the existing realization of this system and the main lessons of this work are of great relevance for the field of superconducting spintronics.
