In this paper, we study skew constacyclic codes over a class of non-chain rings \({\mathcal {T}}={\mathbb {F}}_q[u_1,u_2,\ldots ,u_r]/ \langle f_i(u_i), u_iu_j-u_ju_i\rangle _{i,j=1}^r\) , where \(q=p^m\) , p is some odd prime, m is a positive integer, and \(f_i(u_i)\) are non-constant, monic polynomials that split into distinct linear factors. We discuss the structural properties of skew constacyclic codes over \({\mathcal {T}}\) and their dual. We characterize Euclidean and Hermitian dual-containing skew constacyclic codes. These characterizations serve as a foundational framework for the development of techniques to construct quantum codes. Consequently, we derive plenty of new quantum codes including many maximum distance separable (MDS) quantum codes, and many quantum codes with better parameters than existing ones. Our work further extends to the characterization of skew constacyclic Euclidean and Hermitian linear complementary dual (LCD) codes over \({\mathcal {T}}\) , and we establish that their Gray images also preserve the LCD property. From this analysis, we derive numerous MDS codes and best known linear codes over \({\mathbb {F}}_q\) .
