Abstract: Applying the Jacobi method of second variation to the Bianchi IX system in Misner variables $$, we specialize to the Taub space background $$ and obtain the governing equations for linearized homogeneous perturbations $$ thereabout. Employing a canonical transformation, we isolate two decoupled gauge-invariant linearized variables ($$ and $$), together with their conjugate momenta and linearized Hamiltonians. These two linearized Hamiltonians are of time-dependent harmonic oscillator form, and we quantize them to get time-dependent Schr"{o}dinger equations. For the case of ${Q_{+}}^{\prime }$, we are able to solve for the discrete solutions and the exact quantum squeezed states.
