Systems, computer-implemented methods, and/or computer program products that can facilitate target qubit decoupling in an echoed cross-resonance gate are provided. According to an embodiment, a computer-implemented method can comprise receiving, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, both a cross-resonance pulse and a decoupling pulse at a target qubit. The cross-resonance pulse propagates to the target qubit via a control qubit. The computer-implemented method can further comprise receiving, by the system, a state inversion pulse at the control qubit. The computer-implemented method can further comprise receiving, by the system, both a phase-inverted cross-resonance pulse and a phase-inverted decoupling pulse at the target qubit. The phase-inverted cross-resonance pulse propagates to the target qubit via the control qubit.
