ImportError: cannot import name 'QuantumCircuit' from 'qiskit' (unknown location)

For this project, where I want to use the qiskit-cold-atom package, I created an environment with Qiskit 0.46.3 and Qiskit Aer 0.13. I tried uninstalling Qiskit and using only qiskit-nature, but nothing worked; I kept encountering the same error.

Steps to reproduce the problem

import qiskit_cold_atom

What is the expected behavior?
