In spacetime dimension two, pure Yang-Mills possesses no physical degrees of freedom, and consequently it admits a supersymmetric extension to couple to an arbitrary number, N say, of Majorana-Weyl gauginos. This results in (N , 0) super Yang-Mills. Further, its dimensional reduction to mechanics doubles the number of supersymmetries, from N to N + N , to include conformal supercharges, and leads to a superconformal Yang-Mills quantum mechanics with symmetry group OSp(N |2, R). We comment on its connection to AdS 2 × S N −1 and reduction to a supersymmetric Calogero model.
