Nov 5, 2011 at 19:52 comment added Suvrit @Terry: Ideally, non asymptotic results would be the best. I am, however, still curious about the limited asymptotic regimes where only one of $n$ or $d$ is allowed to be large (feels like the case of large $n$ should be easier). The Frobenius norm definitely seems much friendlier.
Nov 5, 2011 at 19:49 comment added Terry Tao Conversely, in the regime where d is fixed and n is large, the classical central limit theorem should give good results, since the sum is going to be asymptotically a gaussian matrix (possibly shifted by a multiple of the identity, in the second question).
Nov 5, 2011 at 19:47 comment added Terry Tao Are you interested in an asymptotic regime (e.g. n fixed, d large; or d fixed, n large)? I doubt there will be an exact formula otherwise; the operator norm is not algebraic enough for an algebraic miracle (as opposed to, say, the Frobenius norm). In the regime where n is fixed and d is large, free probability tools should in principle answer your question (or at least predict the answer).
