This is potentially a good question, but as the two responders above have suggested you need to refine the question to get the best answer as this is rather vague.
I'm assuming that you are consider something like a matter-based qubit coupling to a matter based qutrit? For example two atoms in a shared optical cavity? In such a case the native interactions are unlikely to be different from two qubit interactions, albeit with the added effect of having single particle states available.
The fact that the control-unitary operations are usually identical can be seen, for example, in the nice work on shortcuts to quantum operations via higher dimensional spaces (Lanyon et al., Nature Physics 5, 134 (2009), arXiv:0804.0272).
You certainly could consider a case for a dipole-dipole coupled system where a spin-1/2 system shared a resonance with a spin-1 transition, which would be a cute toy problem, but it isn't obvious to me that it would be useful for quantum information purposes.
Thank you all for the discussions. Two atoms ( a two level -three level system) , located at fixed positions and r is the distance between the atoms, interacting with the environment. What are all the types of interaction can be taken into account in this case?
