 A general two-qubit state is a superposition over the four computational basis states, with the normalization condition saying the total probability must be 1:
-$$\lvert\psi\rangle = \begin{pmatrix}c_{00}\\c_{01}\\c_{10}\\c_{11}\end{pmatrix} \qquad \lvert\psi\rangle = c_{00}\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}1\\0\\0\\0\end{pmatrix}}_{\lvert 00\rangle} + c_{01}\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}0\\1\\0\\0\end{pmatrix}}_{\lvert 01\rangle} + c_{10}\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}0\\0\\1\\0\end{pmatrix}}_{\lvert 10\rangle} + c_{11}\underbrace{\begin{pmatrix}0\\0\\0\\1\end{pmatrix}}_{\lvert 11\rangle}, \qquad |c_{00}|^2 + |c_{01}|^2 + |c_{10}|^2 + |c_{11}|^2 = 1$$
