Abstract
We review the Pusey-Barret-Rudolph (PBR) theorem\cite{PBR} and their setup, and arrive to the conclusion that the reality of a quantum state ψ is intrinsically attached to the measurement the system described by ψ has undergone. We show that a state that has not been measured can be regarded as pure information, while a state that has been measured has to be regarded as a physical property of a certain system, having a counterpart in reality. This demonstration implies that the statement of PBR's theorem changes in a meaningful way.
