In this paper, we aim to construct quantum codes from skew constacyclic codes over <inline-formula><tex-math id="M10">\begin{document}$ R_{\ell,m} $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>. First, we discuss the structures of skew constacyclic codes and determine their Euclidean dual codes. Then a relation between these codes and their Euclidean duals has been obtained. Finally, with the help of a duality-preserving Gray map and the CSS construction, many MDS and better non-binary quantum codes are obtained as compared to the best-known quantum codes available in the literature.</p>
