Abstract
The topic of network steering in the independent-resource line network with intermediate parties being trusted and end parties being untrusted is proposed in [Jones et al. Phys Rev Lett 127(14):170405, 2021]. Where the problem that how entanglement and steerability of independent resources demonstrate network steerability was focused on deeply. In the paper, we propose the definition of quantum steering in the independent-resource star network by the corresponding local hidden state model, where the center party is untrusted and the remaining parties are trusted. Furthermore, we discover a number of kinds of relationships between entanglement (steerability) of independent resources and star network steerability.
