We consider completely positive maps that describe noisy, multiparticle unitary operations. We show that by random single-particle operations the completely positive maps can be depolarized to a standard form with a reduced number of parameters describing the noise process in such a way that the noiseless (unitary) part of the evolution is not altered. A further reduction of the parameters, in many cases even to a single one (i.e., global white noise), is possible by tailoring the decoherence process and increasing the amount of noise. We generalize these results to the dynamical case where the noisy evolution is described by a master equation of Lindblad form, and the noiseless evolution is specified by an interaction Hamiltonian. The resulting standard forms may be used to compute lower bounds on channel capacities, to simplify quantum process tomography or to derive error thresholds for entanglement purification and quantum computation.
