The Kirkwood–Dirac (KD) quasiprobability distribution describes any quantum state with respect to the eigenbases of two incompatible observables. While the KD quasiprobability distribution behaves similarly to a classical probability distribution, it can take on negative or nonreal values. Recently, the framework of the temporal Kirkwood–Dirac quasiprobability distribution has been proposed, generalizing the KD quasiprobability distribution to arbitrary multi-time quantum processes. In this work, we specifically focus on the temporal KD quasiprobability distribution within the context of two-time dynamics. We begin by constructing a nonclassicality measure derived from the real and imaginary parts of the temporal KD quasiprobability distribution. Next, we establish two uncertainty relations closely linked to this nonclassicality measure, one of which shows that the nonclassicality measure is bounded below by the measurement disturbance caused by the first measurement. Finally, we elucidate the relationships among temporal KD nonclassicality, the spatiotemporal Born rule, and spatiotemporal compatibility.
