Vanishing of Hochschild homology of a category Let $A$ be a dg- or $A_{\infty}$-category (with $\mathbb{Z}$-graded Hom sets, over a field of characteristic $0$). Let $HH_*(A)$ be the Hochschild homology of $A$.
Suppose that $HH_n(A)=0$ for all $n \in \mathbb{Z}$. Does this imply that $A$ is the zero category? 
If not, then what assumptions can I add to $A$ to make this true (e.g. smoothness, properness, ect)?  
Remark: I have heard the heuristic that Hochschild homology can be viewed as "differential forms" on the "spectrum" of the non-commutative category $A$ (this heuristic is presumably motivated by the Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg theorem). Hence it's natural to expect that $A$ vanishes if it admits no non-zero differential forms. 
Note also that if $A$ is a (possibly non-commutative) $k$-algebra, then one can check that $HH_0(A) =0$ iff $A=0$. 
 A: This precise question was phrased as the vanishing conjecture in Hochschild homology and semiorthogonal decompositions. But we now know that there exist so called (quasi)phantom categories, which give counterexamples. These are categories with vanishing Hochschild homology, and vanishing (resp. torsion) Grothendieck group. As they are admissible subcategories of derived categories of smooth projective varieties, they have all nice properties you could want for their dg enhancements. An overview of some constructions:

What is interesting is that Hochschild cohomology can detect their non-vanishing, and all kinds of interesting behavior regarding deformation theory arises, see
