      We present a rigorous analysis of the vacuum structure of two models of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. They are the quantum mechanics versions of the two-dimensional \(N=1\) and \(N=2\) Wess-Zumino quantum field models. We find that the \(N=2\) quantum mechanics has degenerate vacua. The space of vacuum states is bosonic, and its dimension is determined by the topological properties of the superpotential.
