1. A method for processing a terahertz frequency electromagnetic beam, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by a processor of a mobile endpoint device, the terahertz frequency electromagnetic beam via a metamaterial having a plurality of addressable magnetic elements, where a resonant frequency of each of the plurality of addressable magnetic elements is capable of being programmably changed via an adjustment;

    detecting, by the processor, a phase condition of the terahertz frequency electromagnetic beam via a plurality of additional magnetic elements of the metamaterial; and

    activating, by the processor, a subset of the plurality of addressable magnetic elements to manipulate the terahertz frequency electromagnetic beam based upon the phase condition that is detected.
