Let $R$ be a Dedekind domain and its Jacobson radical is non-zero $\mathrm{Jac}(R)\neq 0$. Why $\dim(R/\mathrm{Jac}(R))=0$?

Since  Dedekind domains are one dimensional, every non zero prime ideal is maximal. If $Jac(R)\not=0$, then every prime ideal of $ R/Jac (R) $ must be maximal. Thus, $R/Jac (R) $ is zero dimensional.
