Yes, quantum times are slowed down by GR -- e.g., the decay rate of unstable particles -- but from a "constant" base.
"Quantum times" are just proper time measured along world lines. GR allows that the spacetime is curved so locally parallel world lines don't remain parallel, but there is no other effect on the rate of atomic phenomena. Along it's own world line every cesium atom keeps the same time (i.e. is an ideal clock). Brent
