We investigate random unitary channels and their asymptotic dynamics under repeated application. It is demonstrated that, despite the fact that random unitary channels are typically not normal, their asymptotic dynamics are determined completely by their eigenspaces associated with eigenvalues of unit modulus. We also investigate first implications of this general result for the asymptotic dynamics of quantum networks consisting of arbitrary numbers of qubits which are coupled by randomly applied controlled-not operations.
