As David notes googling "retrocausation quantum mechanics" or quantum time backward suggests this may not be as certain as he thinks? Also Wheeler's claim that the past isn't set until observed would also seem to put the quoted statement into question?
IIRC there other ways to explain precognition besides violating this arrow...and without any model of causation last I checked it's odd to try and assert the arrow is even definitive. Beyond Physicalism even includes a chapter by the physicist Henry Stapp wherein he offers some possibilities within largely standard physics for precognition (just accept the consciousness causes collapse interpretation).
Appealing to quantum effects can't really explain what Bem claims to be measuring on the macro level.
We have no familiar everyday phenomena in which information travels backwards in time. This makes it difficult even to imagine possible mechanisms for precognition and retroactive influence.
