contents The importance of Fisher information is increasing in nonequilibrium thermodynamics, as it has played a fundamental role in trade-off relations such as thermodynamic uncertainty relations and speed limits. In this work, we investigate temporal Fisher information, which measures the temporal information content encoded in probability distributions, for both classical and quantum systems. We establish that temporal Fisher information is bounded from above by physical costs, such as entropy production in classical Langevin and Markov processes and the variance of interaction Hamiltonians in open quantum systems. Conversely, temporal Fisher information is bounded from below by statistical distances (e.g., the Bhattacharyya arccos distance), leading to classical and quantum speed limits that constrain the minimal time required for state transformations. We perform numerical simulations on two quantum dot models to validate the obtained bounds. Our work provides a unified perspective on speed limits from the point of view of temporal Fisher information in both classical and quantum dynamics.
