A scheme to generate long-range spin-spin interactions between three-level ions in a chain is presented, providing a feasible experimental route to the rich physics of well-known SU3 models. In particular, we demonstrate different signatures of quantum chaos which can be controlled and observed in experiments with trapped ions.
