Second-order Pauli-Z evolution circuit.

For 3 qubits and 1 repetition and linear entanglement the circuit is represented by:

┌───┐┌────────────────┐
┤ H ├┤ P(2.0*φ(x[0])) ├──■───────────────────────────■───────────────────────────────────
├───┤├────────────────┤┌─┴─┐┌─────────────────────┐┌─┴─┐
┤ H ├┤ P(2.0*φ(x[1])) ├┤ X ├┤ P(2.0*φ(x[0],x[1])) ├┤ X ├──■───────────────────────────■──

└───┘└────────────────┘                                 └───┘└─────────────────────┘└───┘

where φ\varphi is a classical non-linear function, which defaults to φ(x)=x\varphi(x) = x if and φ(x,y)=(π−x)(π−y)\varphi(x,y) = (\pi - x)(\pi - y).
