He is the Director of the Danish National Research Foundation Center of Excellence Hybrid Quantum Networks (Hy-Q) and the Novo Nordisk Foundation center for Solid State Quantum Simulators. He is also the Founder and Chief Quantum Officer of the start-up company Sparrow Quantum that commercializes deterministic photon-emitter interfaces and today employs &gt;50 FTEs and has successfully launched several unique quantum chip products and full plug-and-play photon source solutions. PL received a PhD in quantum physics in 2000 from University of Copenhagen and subsequently held postdoc positions at Caltech and University of Twente. He was the first to demonstrate that light emission can be fully controlled by the use of intricate photonic nanostructures. This fundamental principle ultimately enables a full deterministic quantum interface between light and matter, which PL subsequently has exploited after founding his own research group in Denmark in 2005. His group develops fundamentally new quantum hardware for the emergent field of quantum-information science such as: deterministic single-photon sources, spin-photon interfaces, and photonic quantum gates. The application areas include photonic quantum computers, quantum repeaters, and quantum key distribution towards the ultimate vision of a quantum internet.<\/p><p>PL is the recipient of the ERC consolidator grant (2010), ERC advanced grant (2015), ERC Synergy grant (2025), the EliteForsk Award (2016), Queen Margrethe II\u2019s Research Award (2022), and the Into Innovation Award (2025). He has published &gt;170 publications in leading scientific journals, given &gt;200 invited colloquia and conference talks, holds &gt;10 patents on photonic quantum technology, and has founded the quantum-tech start-up company Sparrow Quantum. PL has educated &gt;35 Ph.D. students and &gt;40 postdocs and many of them today hold highly influential positons in industry and academia. He is an elected member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters (2016) and Optica Fellow (2021).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-lower-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tClose\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddac069 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ddac069\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Peter Lodahl<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-03399f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"03399f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">CQO, Sparrow Quantum <br><br><br><br><br><br><\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-20 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e7017f6\" data-id=\"e7017f6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-996a23c premium-modal-dismissible-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-premium-addon-modal-box\" data-id=\"996a23c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;premium_modal_box_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInDown&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"premium-addon-modal-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;image&quot;,&quot;show_on_exit&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-trigger-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" data-toggle=\"premium-modal\" data-target=\"#premium-modal-996a23c\" class=\"premium-modal-trigger-img\" src=\"https:\/\/mastersofdigital.org\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Mauro-Macchi.png\" alt=\"Mauro Macchi\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"premium-modal-996a23c\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal\"\n\t\t\trole=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-dialog\" data-delay-animation=\"\" data-modal-animation=\"fadeInDown animated-fast\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\tMauro Macchi, CEO for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) at Accenture\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-close-button-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"button\" class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-close\" data-dismiss=\"premium-modal\">&times;<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"premium-modal-box-modal-body\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mauro Macchi is Accenture\u2019s CEO for Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and a member of Accenture&#8217;s Global Executive Leadership Team, which he joined in September 2021.
