Noise detrimentally affects quantum computations so that they not only become less accurate but also easier to simulate classically as systems scale up. We construct a classical simulation algorithm, LOWESA (low weight efficient simulation algorithm), for estimating expectation values of noisy parameterised quantum circuits. It combines previous results on spectral analysis of parameterised circuits with Pauli back-propagation and recent ideas for simulations of noisy random circuits. We show, under some conditions on the circuits and mild assumptions on the noise, that LOWESA gives an efficient, polynomial algorithm in the number of qubits (and depth), with approximation error that vanishes exponentially in the physical error rate and a controllable cut-off parameter. We also discuss the practical limitations of the method for circuit classes with correlated parameters and its scaling with decreasing error rates.
