Quantum decay rates for barrier potentials driven by external stochastic and periodic forces in the strong damping regime are studied. Based on the recently derived quantum Smoluchowski equation [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 086802 (2001)] explicit analytical and numerical results are presented for the case of the resonant activation phenomenon in a bistable potential and the escape from a metastablwell with oscillating barrier, respectively. The significant impact of quantum fluctuations is revealed.
