In this paper, we use Stein’s method to obtain optimal bounds, both in Kolmogorov and in Wasserstein distance, in the normal approximation for the empirical distribution of the ground state of a many-interacting-worlds harmonic oscillator proposed by Hall, Deckert and Wiseman (Phys. Rev. X 4 (2014) 041013). Our bounds on the Wasserstein distance solve a conjecture of McKeague and Levin (Ann. Appl. Probab. 26 (2016) 2540–2555).
