numerical noise with exponential matrix (expm())

Some one told me that that numerical noise normally exists with the expm() function. The noise value is normally with a magnitude of 10^-19. Is that the truth? If it is, how can I eliminate the noise, as in my calculation the result need to be calculated with some numbers with similar magnitude.

You CANNOT eliminate that noise working in floating point arithmetic. Trying to do the impossible is something only asked of a grad student, but rarely achieved.
