contents Reversible to irreversible (R-IR) transitions arise in numerous periodically driven collectively interacting systems that, after a certain number of driving cycles, organize into a reversible state where the particle trajectories repeat, or remain irreversible with chaotic motion. R-IR transitions were first systematically studied for periodically sheared dilute colloids, and appear in a wide variety of both soft and hard matter systems, including amorphous solids, crystals, vortices in type-II superconductors, and magnetic textures. In some cases, the reversible transition is an absorbing phase transition with a critical divergence in the organization time scale. R-IR systems can store multiple memories and exhibit return point memory. We give an overview of R-IR transitions including recent advances in the field, and discuss how the general framework of R-IR transitions could be applied to a much broader class of periodically driven nonequilibrium systems, including soft and hard condensed matter systems, astrophysics, biological systems, and social systems. Some likely candidate systems are commensurate-incommensurate states, systems exhibiting hysteresis or avalanches, and nonequilibrium pattern forming states. Periodic driving could be applied to hard condensed matter systems to see if R-IR transitions occur in metal-insulator transitions, semiconductors, electron glasses, electron nematics, cold atom systems, or Bose-Einstein condensates. R-IR transitions could also be examined in dynamical systems where synchronization or phase locking occurs. We discuss the use of complex periodic driving such as changing drive directions or multiple frequencies as a method to retain complex multiple memories. Finally, we describe features of classical and quantum time crystals that could suggest the occurrence of R-IR transitions in these systems.
